I want to go to the movies..

I want to go to the movies...

Dear Salient,

Cartoon strip of a mouth eating paper

I want to see Dr Strangelove, and The War Game. I really do. I would be prepared to pay ordinary cinema prices to see Dr Strangelove and The War Game. You really don't have to tell me they're incredible movies and well worth seeing in fact it would do me a lot of good to see Dr Strangelove and The War Game. (It might even turn me into a reactionary little anti-nuclear dynamo.) But I can't, as I'm an ordinary kind of student (the $37 variety) and my time-table is covered with Blue Ink on Thursday 2.15 onwards. What are the possibilities for Sunday nights?(like Massey.)

I'm feeling intensely irritated at the not-so-recent blow-up of the Students' Arts Council; having felt just a little suspicious of the way in which Bruce Kirkland was directing the Student Entertainments. Also the state of the SRC leaves me with a sensation of being ankle deep in seawater, watching those brown things with long tails fastening on their life jackets and leaping overboard.

But as a full-time student holding down three part-time jobs, and selfishly letting my priorites of finishing a degree and eating at the same time override my guilt at my inaction in student affairs, I can't see any solution. Sorry.

Inanely yours,

Solid Citizen.
